Well, exactly.
My reaction was, also, who appointed Apple as our nanny, to control
our behavior for matters that have nothing to do with Apple? Even
though I think Kon is right, that these techniques can all be
circumvented, it's still the mindset that is obnoxious.
Not much different from PVR makers who allow broadcasters to prevent
us from time-shift recording, even though the US courts said this is
perfectly legal. Who appointed the CE companies as our nannies?
Copying the movie through a camera in the audience is illegal. Fine.
No one appointed Apple as our movie-copy-prevention police.
It's a patent application Bert.
Will it ever see the light of day?
I think one of the most obvious saving graces of this patent application
is its potential impact in politics - here and abroad.
The camera disabling transponders should be placed in the locker rooms
frequented by major sports figures, and most certainly around
Washington, DC.
Merely texting leaves so much more to the imagination, and so much less
to blog. This occurred to me in an ex-congressman from NY minute!
A logical extension to the technology, the Ishocker, could provide
negative reinforcement at the presence of an IR badge
worn by a maid, be they hotel or domestic. Think of the embarassment
that could be saved by this simply brilliant technology
before we throw it under the bus.
Tongue firmly in cheek,

As long as the entertainment industry views their customers as
thieves, there will be opportunities for companies designing products
to protect content. And companies that make devices to create and
deliver content will need to cater to the needs of the entertainment
industry.
